Dior Waterlily

 So, this is me giving a brand I want to love a second chance. I was pretty sure I wouldn't but anymore Dior polishes, but I just had to pick up this amazing shade from their spring collection. It's a minty shimmery polish, and the really special thing about is that it's scented! Yes, I know there are many scented polishes nowadays. The reason why it's special to me is because it is supposed to be rose scented. If there was one thing that I could smell 24/7, it would definitely be the smell of rose petals. Weird? Maybe, just a tad.

 I wore the polish for a few hours now and it really does smell like rose petals! It actually took my surprise because when I was first applying the polish it had a different scent to it. It smelled like a lighter version of Nivea lotion, but then that went away and it just smelled like potpourri. I wasn't thrilled with that at all and was a bit bummed, but then as I was washing my face I caught the scent of fresh rose petals! I think that it was probably just too strong of a scent at the beginning and as the hours passed the scent became muted.

All these pictures were taken with flash and I used three coats of Waterlily with one coat of NYC Grand Central Station. The formula was better on this one, but it still was a bit thick. I had to work fast, although not crazy fast like with Tuxedo. The one thing that was bad was the bit of bubbling that came out from time to time. I think Dior polishes just take a bit more work than other polishes, and I guess I am willing to take the extra work because I love the colors I have so far.

Here is a picture without flash just for kicks.

 The brush still bugged me, but the formula was A LOT better on this one. The scent was amazing at least for me, so much that I now want to pick up the other shade in the spring collection. ^_^
